My mind and writing

I just wanted to check in on the official site and apologize for the lack of new stories out in the ‘real world.’ I have been writing a lot of chapters: interactive stories community stories. It’s a visual story game app that adapts published works into games but they’ve also started writing original stories and allowing users to contribute. I am trying hard to wrap up a lot of ongoing stories over there that readers have asked me to update. I also wanted to let anyone know that is patiently waiting for more in the Genevieve Storm series why some books might take longer than others. Aside from the fact I am self published and pay for all my resources and editing. I have ADHD. Diagnosed officially. So I do get distracted easily, and sometimes have a hard time finishing ‘tasks.’ I also had learning disabilities in school and not sure if that contributes to my procrastination or focus. But it might. I don’t write down my story plotting because it’s easily forgotten or out of sight out of mind. I do forget a lot of things but the way my plotting is most affective is if I have it all in my head first. I might write down specific things that come to mind if I am worry about forgetting those things. But I typically remember exactly how I organized everything in my thinking process. I usually have the ending first planned out. As far as the beginning goes I just start writing whatever comes to my mind as far as these characters introduction and then fill in the middle that way too. So yes my books are literally me typing out an scene or plot that pops into my head at that very moment until I get to the end I planned while making edits as I go. I don’t do drafts. I have one ‘draft’ that I edit and rewrite until it’s the final book. Then I send it to an actual editor to check grammar etc. And then I upload it to amazon under their self publishing. And voila it’s online for you all. It seems my ADHD and issue of starting other projects while in the middle of one has affected ‘Maynard.’ I am now writing a Fae book at the same time. I hope to finish both also at the same time. And publish them together. No the Fae book is separate and a different universe. Anyways I got a lot of stuff I need to finish and wrap up. And just wanted to let people know who were waiting for ‘Maynard’ to be done. I promise I’ll figure it out.

-Love,
JM
